Because we were trying to negotiate a lower fee with Villa. They didn't want to sell so we had to force the issue by meeting the amount of the release clause. Villa were unable to do anything about it then.

And did he sign for us?Not many Premier League club ones....Grealish took its time.
A simple yes will suffice.
Haaland took it's time too and Dortmund play in the Bundesliga so made it a little easier.I don't believe he did. Haaland did
This isn't a little cut and dried.And did he sign for us?
A simple yes will suffice.

It really is that simple. He had a release clause and when we matched that, he was able to come. Villa couldn't block it. If we'd offered less (as I believe we initially did), then Villa had the right to reject our offer.This isn't a little cut and dried.

No, because Villa wouldn't accept our offer. When we matched the amount of the release clause, he was able to come and Villa no longer were able to reject it.In the end we didn't reduce the fee.
Paqueta is a player that plays 8 and 10 but has defensive attributes that you find in players, playing 6 and constantly pressing and willing to do the dirty work. If required, he can create like a 10. Paqueta is such a baller.I don’t know about better, I think Oaqueta is incredibly talented, but I think Bruno is a better target. His skill set is rarer - there’s not many players who can play 6 and 8 equally well and be creative from deep and around the box.
Wingers/Attacking midfielder hybrids are common as muck really, there’s a new £100m one every year.
Rodri-Bruno-Foden could be a midfield until 2030.
Bruno is a 6 and 8 as you have stated. The reason Bruno can create from deep is because he can play as an 8. That is why I like NEVES so much, he does that with ease, his that guy. Back to Bruno, Bruno has that DOG in him, that our players lack, which would be a good thing for us to have.
If we had gotten both players, it would have been remarkable. We would go back to dominating the MIDFIELD BATTLE in every match, given the fact we play possession based football and our players try to win the ball very fast. It would have been a beautiful sight to see. I personally believe that Paqueta and Bruno G complement each other well.

Personal terms and release clauses are two separate things. Haaland took his time because he had multiple clubs willing to trigger his release clause, so he took some time to figure out which one was the best fit for him.Haaland took it's time too and Dortmund play in the Bundesliga so made it a little easier.
Ray, a release clause being triggered and a player willing to leave means everything. Nothing can be done by the club he plays for. He wants to leave and RC is triggered, then its bye, bye.Release clauses mean diddly squat.

Money talks. As do trophies. And being able to play as a midfielder under Pep is a massive draw for any player.He would be a great addition. I'm not sure he will though. He seems pretty loyal to Newcastle so my best guess if he's moving is that it's over to another league
Guimares is leaving Newcastle, the question is if it's to us or a rival.
and we didn't want to pay it, hence the negotiationGvardiol had a release clause......
With the greatest of respect, the clue is in the name RELEASE CLAUSERelease clauses mean diddly squat.
Bruno G isn't a must, but someone to play double pivot with Rodri and play solo DM without Rodri is a MUST. If Bruno G comes, then he is that guy being trusted to do that.Again we Bruno G isn't a must have signing.....

Perhaps if he punched two fists. I always judge a player on fist pumpsMad that anyone thinks this lad is anywhere near good enough for us
He punches his fist to the crowd when he makes a tackle, and that's enough to think it's a no from me
If I've missed something fair enough, but just dont see him as a City player
It is, (IF!!) we activate the RELEASE CLAUSEThis isn't a little cut and dried.
If it's as irrelevant as you seem to think, why do you thing Eddie Howe made a point of saying, that there is one, but only until end of June. Basically he was keeping his fingers crossed, and was acknowledging that if it was activated & Bruno wanted to go, there was nothing they could do!!!
No, we had to pay the RELEASE CLAUSEIn the end we didn't reduce the fee.
Its not rumoured, Eddie Howe stated it existed categoricallyPlenty of bait in this one too. Same with the Paqueta signing. No real signs Bruno G is moving. One month before the rumoured release clause deadline ends.
